Artist Statement: Kay Kang I believe art is a powerful universal language that has the ability to convey concepts & emotions that people from any culture or background can understand & interpret based on their own perspectives & experiences. The inspiration for my art comes from patterns found in century-old Korean Buncheong ceramics, silk fabrics, & the Korean alphabet. For me, these patterns convey timeless narratives that remain relevant even in modern day America. The range of patterns found across these various media provides me with raw material that I transform into my own language through my work. Painting & writing become one in the same. & through my painting I communicate what I hope is a powerful, yet soothing, & universal series of messages for my audience. Currently, my works are exhibited at SFMOMA Artists Gallery, with David Kuraoka & Susan Goldsmith through April 16, 2015. My work was shown in the Poetry in Clay: Korean Buncheong Ceramics exhibit at the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco, along with five other Korean artists, to demonstrate the vitality of contemporary art influenced by Korean Buncheong ceramics, & how this art form is still alive today. This exhibit showcased fifty-five masterpieces, including six Korean national treasures, from the Leeum, Samsung Museum of Art in Seoul, Korea. Most recently I was one of fifteen U.S. women artists to participate in Half the Sky: Intersections in Social Practice Art, Cultural Exchange & Exhibition, at the Luxun Academy of Art in Shenyang, China. The purpose of this exhibition was to create a forum for cultural exchange between women artists from all backgrounds.
